Any tips on wind 3 week old

[19annie86]

Have a 3 week old baby, seems to be suffering from wind I think, sometimes is ok others crying a good bit between feeds, any tips or products used etc

Search on youtube "how to fart my baby". It's a movement you do on your child that helps the wind move around and eventually push out. I've had my DH do it to me before when I've had terrible trapped wind and it even worked on a 43 year old.

Are you burping them mid feed? I always gave mine a break or two, sat them up to rub their back until they burped. Hold under the chin or put them on your shoulder and do it that way.

Leg cycling helps and tummy massage.

My baby was the same and the midwife said that she sounded like she had colic so told me to buy infacol which helped a lot. Also if you’re using formula some may make the baby extra windy. I found that with Aptimal and it got better when we switched to kendamil. Putting her on her back and doing the bicycle or tiger in the tree move helped to release some of the wind. Plus burping her after every 2oz

Best trick I used was to sit baby on your knee facing outward with your hand supporting the chin and back then move the whole top half of baby in a circular motion. My daughter calls it the ice cream swirl move as it reminds her of Mr whippy! I used to sit baby sideways also, but as long as the head is supposed and their back straight, the wind comes up really quickly I found!

This is totally controversial and I got slated elsewhere on Mumsnet for suggesting it last week, but I just tried a FridaBaby Windi and the result was incredible.
